Strong Waist

  Chapter 1087 Elapsed stamina

   Lucky really didn't expect De Bruyne to be able to make this kind of defense.

   After all, he is an offensive midfielder with good dribbling and super high passing ability, which can basically lock the main force and even the core position of the world's major giants teams.

  But De Bruyne is still not satisfied.

  Especially when he was constantly fighting against Lucy, he was also forced to continue to grow.

  Because De Bruyne discovered that once he stopped, he would never be able to catch up.

  A good player can be achieved through talent.

   But a great player must have a good opponent.

   De Bruyne believes that Lucky is his biggest opponent, which will not only put pressure on him, but also give him the motivation to keep moving forward.

  Just like now, he can not only contribute on the offensive end, but also undertake the work of pressing and intercepting when the team is at a disadvantage.

   "Go up! I'll come over there!"

   De Bruyne has a milder personality, and he rarely speaks in such a cold tone.

  But at this time, he didn't care about these things, and immediately directed his teammates to press forward, and at the same time he controlled the passing line from Wilshere to Le Kai.

   This step also forced Wilshere to pass the ball to Aubameyang. This is the center of Manchester City's defense, and the space is tight, which is not conducive to passing and breakthrough.

   But he just wants to force the pass here.

   Sure enough, when Aubameyang received the ball, Gundogan and Kyle Walker immediately ushered in a crazy press

   "Defensive linkage?"

   Lucky looked very carefully. Manchester City is playing the defensive linkage between the midfield and the backcourt. This is what Arsenal is best at.

  The most important thing is that these guys are still playing well.

  And De Bruyne's command is also extremely effective.

   Lucky could have pulled out the neutral position and diverted the ball from the restricted space.

  But while De Bruyne commanded his teammates to press and prevented Wilshere from passing the ball immediately, he immediately came around Lucky to further limit the passing channel.

   In less than a second, this guy completed an excellent defensive command.

   "It's really unexpected!"

  Sky Sports commentator, Paul Merson also stared wide-eyed, watching De Bruyne, who was constantly directing his teammates to defend in the backcourt, and would join the press from time to time.

   Moreover, the press is still decent, putting a lot of pressure on Arsenal.

  What kind of player was De Bruyne before.

   Superb passer and playmaker on offense.

  It can be said that all of De Bruyne's talents are concentrated on the offensive end, and he is not an all-around midfielder in the traditional sense.

  Defense is De Bruyne's weakness.

   Not to mention commanding and defending.

   And now?

  Seeing the figure running around the arena with his face flushed and sweat flying everywhere, Paul Merson was even more surprised.

"In fact, since last season, De Bruyne has been able to show this defensive posture from time to time, but at the time we thought it was just his luck. Even during the World Cup, when Belgium was at a disadvantage, we could see To De Bruyne's press, but due to tactical limitations and the lack of tacit understanding of the team, his press is not very effective."

   "And now, De Bruyne's defense is completely inspired in this game."

   "Yes! We have reason to believe that De Bruyne is serious about learning defensive skills and positioning, and at the same time has produced enough results."

   Dixon judged seriously.

   On the sidelines, Guardiola was also applauding constantly. On the one hand, he encouraged his teammates, and on the other hand, he praised De Bruyne's performance.

  Actually, Guardiola's requirement for De Bruyne is offense.

   After all, there needs to be a clear division of labor in the team, and there is no need to spend effort on unnecessary work. Some tasks need to be completed by a dedicated person.

  For this reason, when De Bruyne proposed to learn defense, Guardiola was relatively opposed.

  But De Bruyne is also stubborn.

  He is still pestering his teammates and coaches for defensive training, and the effect is remarkable.

  When De Bruyne showed this performance in the training game, Guardiola was pleasantly surprised.

  He will not ask De Bruyne to make changes in this regard, but if De Bruyne can do more work, he is also happy.

  In the game, De Bruyne ran very happily, and he can be seen in both offense and defense.

  It can be said that this period of time is his highlight moment, because of De Bruyne's performance, Manchester City's offense has become smoother and more threatening.

  Of course what excites De Bruyne the most is that he forced Lucky into the backcourt and dared not take the lead.

  He suppressed Le Kai for the first time.

   This is the most exciting thing for De Bruyne.

  The only pity is that there is no anxiety or anger on Le Kai's face, which makes De Bruyne slightly regretful.

  Arsenal's half, Lucky retreated to defend.

  He constantly commanded the position, and at the same time issued instructions again and again to direct his teammates.

   On the other hand, Le Kai is also looking at De Bruyne, but there is a trace of emotion in his eyes.

   Lucky must admit that De Bruyne's performance on the defensive end is worthy of recognition.

  And both defensive skills and positioning have been significantly enhanced.

   However, defense is not just running dry.

  In the very beginning, in order to make up for the lack of strength and function, Lucky also chose this defensive method.

   That is to expand the defensive area and keep running on the field.

   But this defensive method has a big drawback, that is, it requires a lot of physical fitness, and at the same time, physical fitness passes too quickly.

   In less than five minutes, De Bruyne's face was already flushed.

   This guy was obviously kicking high at this time, he didn't react at all, and his physical energy was being lost violently.

   Aggressive running is certainly commendable.

  However, how to retain physical fitness in the game and burst out at critical moments is also an extremely important link.

  For this reason, Lucky is waiting patiently.

   "He runs too much!"

   Guardiola's face also suddenly became serious.

  He knows De Bruyne's desire to express, but it doesn't mean he can run like this.

  The 45 minutes of physical energy are directly squeezed out in 10 minutes.

  Once De Bruyne recovers, he may not be able to stand up when he stops.

   Stop him!

   This is the first thought in Guardiola's mind.

   "Hey! Kevin! Stop! You can't run like this anymore!"

   De Bruyne, who was running in the arena, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the head coach.

  The first thought in his mind was why can't he run?

  But soon, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and his breathing was extremely short. Most importantly, his legs were a little numb.

  De Bruyne's expression suddenly changed.

Yes!

   He ran too far!

   At this moment, he looked around with a guilty conscience, hoping that the other party didn't notice his problem.

  But the next second, he and Le Kai looked at each other.

   Le Kai looked at him with piercing eyes, then suddenly grinned, turned his head and ran forward.

   De Bruyne's face changed and he turned his head immediately.

   At this time, the ball also came to Lucy's feet.

   De Bruyne ran over to restrict, Lucky hardly made any skillful moves, and moved the ball to the left and passed the ball.

   De Bruyne passed De Bruyne in two simple steps.

  After being passed, De Bruyne also staggered a bit, so he didn't stand firm.

  He knew that there was a problem with his physical fitness.

   At this time, Le Kai has already rushed towards their big penalty area.

   Taking advantage of your illness, I will kill you!

   At this time, Le Kai will not be merciful.

   Lucky pressed forward, and the Arsenal players also followed the pace of the captain.

  They believed in Lucky's judgment, so they pressed forward directly.

  After such a pressure, they suddenly discovered that the huge defensive pressure before seemed to have relaxed a lot.

  Manchester City's press and defense are not so clean, and in the transfer process, there will always be some loopholes that can be exploited.

  Although they quickly filled the gap.

  But as long as the pressure continues, these gaps and loopholes will only get bigger and bigger until they are completely torn apart by Arsenal.

  At this time, the Arsenal players understood that it was time for them to counterattack!

  "Aubameyang crossed, Giroud headed for the top"

   "Mane hit the goal from a small angle!"

   "Kay! Long shot!"

   "Wilshere made a pass and Mane shot!"

  The ball brushed against the goal post and flew over.

   But Arsenal's offensive is extremely strong.

   "Arsenal began to bombard Manchester City wildly. Manchester City's attack against Arsenal became more and more flustered. If the situation continues like this, then Manchester City's goal will become more and more dangerous!"
